    I have been going to this establishment for about a decade now and it still remains one of my favorite places/restaurants to go to. Everything about this place is amazing. Never disappointed. Thank You Blend On The Water for making Mother’s Day special, as usual.

    Be worry about making any sort of reservation from this restaurant. I made a reservation for Mother’s Day when they opened it, they specifically mentioned that any cancellation or no-show you will be charged for which I was fine with, however, the problem came up when they decided to change the entire menu last minute to fit Mother’s Day and that there was absolutely no way of getting in touch with anybody from the restaurant. Tried for two days straight, only to be greeted with their message, saying that they were closed despite their social media team assuring me that they were open. While the food and the service was good, this does not excuse the poor customer experience during a reservation process.
    Blend on the WaterResponded on May 13, 2025
    We’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced with the reservation process and communication. We understand how important it is to have clear details, especially for a special occasion, and we deeply regret that we fell short in that regard. While we’re glad to hear the food and service met your expectations, we know this shouldn’t have overshadowed your experience. We’d love the chance to make things right. Please reach out directly so we can invite you back for a much smoother experience.

    I had a great experience at Blend on the Water! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere made it even better. The view overlooking Long Island City was stunning—perfect for a romantic night out or a special date. The prices were reasonable for the quality and location, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the bathroom was. One tip: make a reservation ahead of time! It can get busy, and having a reservation will save you from a long wait. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, a beautiful view, and a nice vibe for couples.
